Wheat Village.

Glanny's Workshop.

Glanny, who hadn't bathed in five days, held a basketball-sized black sphere with his multicolored hands. His eyes were bloodshot, but they burned with passion, as if they could scorch anyone: "Success! I, Glanny, have successfully crafted a magic item more precious than gemstone equipment!"

Glanny raised the Sea Calming Pearl high, as if a scientist had created Frankenstein.

"Its magic coverage extends 182 meters, within which all wind is silenced by water elemental magic. It should be called the Eye of the Storm, no, the Master of the Storm!"

And then, in the next moment.

Liszt, who had been waiting impatiently, snatched the Sea Calming Pearl from him: "Mr. Glanny, thank you for completing the Sea Calming Pearl for me. I will personally test its effects. You can take a good bath and get some sleep. When you wake up, I'll host a banquet for you at the castle."

After saying this, he asked Thomas to hand over a handkerchief to carefully wipe the greasy Sea Calming Pearl.

Glanny looked at the Sea Calming Pearl with great reluctance, his tone full of regret: "It was just one step away from rivaling a sprite soldier. If you hadn't been so attached to that wind falcon, I would have made it the ultimate magic item! Alas, your vision is too short-sighted."

"Ha ha."

Liszt really wanted to punch him to shut him up.

But he still instructed Charles with noble demeanor: "Take care of your teacher, and remind him to attend the banquet tonight."

"Understood, Baron."

Elkson had already completed the magic potion and returned to Coral City to enjoy himself. The person chosen to test the Sea Calming Pearl was Marcus, who wielded wind elemental aura.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Then let's begin, Master Marcus."

"Yes, sir!"

Within the range of the Sea Calning Pearl, Marcus could still release his aura.

However, after he used his aura techniques, their power rapidly diminished, dissipating entirely within a meter of his body.

When Marcus used the *Multiple Arrow* technique, the aura on the arrows dissipated even faster.

"This is a formidable magic item. Within the range of the Sea Calming Pearl, I can barely exert ten percent of my strength. The suppression effect is very strong," Marcus said with a frown, disliking this feeling.

Liszt smiled slightly and analyzed: "If you engage in close combat, it doesn't hinder your strength; it only diminishes long-range wind elemental magic and aura."

"I rely heavily on the *Multiple Arrow* technique, which means it effectively renders it useless," Marcus added.

Carl Hammer, who was participating in the experiment, curiously asked: "Sir, Master Marcus, why does the water elemental Sea Calming Pearl silence wind elemental magic? I always thought water elemental magic should counter fire elemental magic."

"The suppression of magic elements is a complex magical science," Liszt explained, pleased—though much of what he said came from Glanny, whom he didn't fully understand, but his good memory helped him convey the knowledge.

"Just because water can extinguish fire in reality doesn't mean water elemental magic can extinguish fire elemental magic. All magic originates from chaotic magic, which merely manifests in different attributes. By manipulating the underlying magic structures, we can achieve suppression."

Carl's eyes showed confusion, but he nodded as if understanding: "I see."

The experiment continued.

After three hours of testing, Liszt had thoroughly understood the silencing properties of the Sea Calning Pearl.

Within an 182-meter radius, all wind, including wind elemental magic, was directly silenced. However, the further away from the center, the weaker the silencing effect became. At the edge of the range, Marcus' aura could extend three meters, while at the center, it couldn't even reach half a meter.

Regardless of whether he used ultimate techniques or ordinary moves, the Sea Calning Pearl would silence them.

The surface of the black pearl had magic runes. By channeling aura to activate these runes, the silencing effect could be disabled.

When the Sea Calning Pearl was placed in a pond near the castle, the water, which had been rippling due to the breeze, quickly calmed, showing no waves at all.

Only when Carl stirred the water vigorously with his sword did it ripple again.

"It cannot silence the movement of water, so during storms, sailing remains dangerous," Marcus analyzed.

Liszt nodded: "True, but reducing the impact of strong winds allows us to focus on dealing with waves, decreasing the risk of capsizing."

In summary, the Sea Calning Pearl's effects satisfied him: "We've missed today, but tomorrow morning, we'll set out for Black Horse Island with the Sea Calning Pearl!"

The next morning.

Glanny Truth, along with his apprentice Charles, joined the Flower Town caravan, preparing to leave Flower Town.

"I hope we have another opportunity to work together, Mr. Glanny," Liszt solemnly saw Glanny off at the continent's edge. He disliked Glanny's attitude but admired his knowledge—indeed, Glanny had genuinely shared many details about magic without holding back.

"I also hope to collaborate again, Baron Liszt," Glanny's hair was washed, and his clothes changed, restoring his mage-like demeanor. He pulled up his hood, hiding his expression, "So, hopefully, the next time we meet, you will have achieved the noble title you desire."

Tick-tock, the carriage started.

The caravan departed.

The voyage was about to begin.

Butler Carter gave loud instructions: "Thomas, remember to take good care of Master’s daily life, without the slightest slack."

Thomas, always humble before Liszt, replied: "Please rest assured, Mr. Carter. I will fulfill my duties with utmost dedication."

Carter turned and bowed deeply to Liszt: "Master, may you return safely."

"I will, Mr. Carter."

Liszt, leading Hiddleston, set off with Marcus, Thomas, and the escort knights, under the watchful eyes of the servants, heading for the dock.

The sky had not yet fully brightened, with the horizon still a pale white, tinged with red streaks appearing.

Upon arriving at the dock, they found Gort, Blair, and others already waiting there. Kosto was also busy with the sailors, making final preparations for the voyage.

There were no unnecessary pleasantries.

Liszt directly led the escort knights onto the Flower, after which Kosto came forward to seek instructions and assigned the sailors to their positions. Moments later, hoisting the red tulip flag representing the Tulip family, the Flower, with the waves of officials like Gort, slowly departed from the dock by oar power.

Sailing towards the deep azure sea.

Once the ship had entered deeper waters, Captain Kosto immediately bellowed: "Hoist the sails!"

Whoosh!

The sails unfurled in the wind, the gusts propelling the Flower through the water, leaving two white trails of foam in its wake.
